Lovers
Johnny B.C. Lyrics

This track is dedicated, to all the Lover Boys out there
The song is for all the men who love too much and struggle with heartbreak

The homies lovin' too much for they own good
Men who love too much often suffer for it

More than they should, check it
Their love causes them to suffer and they need to be mindful of it

This one's for you Lover Boy
The song is specifically for Lover Boys

I had this one friend, lets call him Lover Boy
The singer is talking about a friend who loves too much

Had a heart beat louder than a drummer boy
He was deeply in love with many women and wore his heart on his sleeve

Addicted to girls who had other boys
He was drawn to women in relationships, despite the heartache it caused him

Lined up 'round the corner of former and other choices
Many women were interested in him, but all of them had other options

But a Lover Boy never gets discouraged
Despite the heartbreak, Lover Boys keep searching for love

Always one hunned with the lion of a
They always stay true to themselves and their feelings

Kept it together like a motherboard
They remain composed, even through difficult situations

Never took no for an answer such a stubborn boy
They refuse to give up on love, even in the face of rejection

What you go through all this trouble for
Others may question why they continue to put themselves through heartbreak

Implorin' love just to get ignored
Despite their best efforts, they are often ignored by the women they love

Just so she could ride it like a hoverboard
Women often take advantage of their obsession and lead them on

Do your heart like a doggy do a rubber toy
They feel used and like their love is a game or a toy

Playing games with it shuffleboard
Women sometimes play games with their hearts, like in the game shuffleboard

Listen here Lover Boy
The singer is speaking directly to the Lover Boys

Lover Boy, Lover Boy
Repeating the term Lover Boy for emphasis

Cardiac muscle is one that you don't restore
Heartbreak can do permanent damage to your emotional state

The issues that you dealing with now aren't destined to change
The heartbreak and pain may never fully go away

That shit'll drive you deranged, love is strange Lover Boy
The pain of heartbreak can drive a Lover Boy crazy, love is strange

She love me, she love me not
The singer is questioning whether the woman he loves loves him back

Callin' it puppy love would be wrong
Their love is real, not just a childish infatuation

Like that one George Strait country song
Referencing a country song about love and chance

Check a box, babygirl tell me yes or no
Asking for a clear answer to whether she loves him back

Either way I be sending you X n O's
Whether she loves him or not, he still wants to send love

Honestly I'm like-liking you a lot
He really likes her and is being honest about his feelings

The first time I saw love, she was ridin' RTD
The first time he felt love was when he saw a woman riding the bus

Walked down the aisle, shot a smile and said pardon me
She smiled at him and apologized for getting in his way in the aisle

My heartbeat turned up a dial as I parked next to she
He felt his heart race as he sat next to her on the bus

I held it down mentally, but started breathing heavily
He remained composed on the outside, but felt anxious on the inside

We wasn't talking sexually, but are shoulders rubbing sensually together
Their subtle physical contact felt intimate, even though they weren't flirting

Essentially, we was destined to be together
He felt like they were meant to be together

You know a Lover Boy would do anything to get her
He's willing to do anything for love

More than a fling no love in the air weather
He's not looking for a casual fling, but true love

I said, Hello names JD imma fine fella
He introduced himself to her

Who could it wetter than a mangera
A clever, flirtatious line implying he can make her wet like a mango

No worries baby, I'll be taking care of you forever
Promising to be her protector and provider forever

She said, Whatever Lover Boy please
She's not interested and dismisses his advances

I know all you Lover Boys are the same, only want one thing
She assumes he only wants sex like other Lover Boys

But by any means, don't expect anything
She's making it clear that she won't give him what he wants

Maybe you could get with me, text with me, maybe even text with me
She's considering a casual relationship with him, but nothing more

That don't necessarily mean wedding rings, nah
She's not interested in a serious, long-term relationship with him

Now I'm picking flowers leaf by leaf
He's unsure if she loves him and picking petals off a flower to determine her feelings

Heartbreak comin' beat by beat
He's slowly realizing that she may not love him back and the heartbreak is coming

Baby can't you see, if you the bird then I'm the bees
He sees them as a perfect match, like birds and bees

In other words your keystone species
She is the most important person to him

I guess she love me not
He's realized she doesn't love him back

And the heart goes...
The heartbreak continues

Bum, buh dah dah dah dah Bum, bum, buh dah tada dah dah Aye, aye
Repeating the sound of a beating heart

Don't force it homie don't force it
Don't try to make someone love you if they don't

If the shoe fit like a thick chick in a small corset
If it's meant to be, it will fit perfectly

Aight that's the end of the song
The song is coming to an end
